1 miscarriage + 3 IUIs, 2.5 rounds of IVF + 1 miracle= I'm pregnant. In this episode, I talk about the process of getting pregnant NATURALLY in between rounds of IVF. I reveal things I never talked about before regarding pregnancy, what I learned, regrets, etc. I also share my advice for women suffering from infertility, all the natural things I did to try and get pregnant (and what I believe actually worked), how I'm pivoting my content, baby's nursery and so much more. If you are suffering from infertility, know you aren't alone.

Remember that book from when you were a kid called "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie?" Well, the same concept can be applied to furniture. I explain in this doozy of an episode. Also, I trash talk a particular furniture brand.

It's a quick solo episode this week, giving you a huge reality check on buying furniture right now. I get into the decorating woes everyone is dealing with, my own projects, and current bad decisions. Then I talk about something my mom told me about buying furniture, which is "Don't let perfect get in the way of good," and why everyone currently decorating or renovating needs to listen to this advice.
